Happy Group of daycare kiddies today

[Momof4]

I'm on a forum with a lot of HDCP's in my city and they are always complaining about their daycare children's bad behaviour on Mondays but I guess I found the perfect solution. We go to our local library for a storytime and playing on their train table and with their toys for a change of scenery and then come home and they eat well and sleep well and it's the easiest day of the week for me.

How many children do you take to the library? I used to go to the library when I used to only have a few but lately I've either had too many or children that I don't completely trust to take out.

I take all 5 children, 2 in the double stroller and 3 walking because we have to go on the bus. I keep my under 3 1/2 year old children on the backpack systems attached to my wrist wherever we walk outside so they are safe. They are now pros at getting on the bus and sitting safely together quickly. It takes practice but it's worth it to get out and about every morning. We also go out to playdates at different parks this way a couple of times a week to meet other HDCP friends with their groups.

I've been going to this storytime at the library for almost 5 years now and the librarians know me well and have kept track of my changing enrolment. They think I look funny if they see me after work because I don't have all my munchkins running around me, haha. I also have two other HDCP friends who bring their children to meet us now too and two other HDCP's have been there now and then in the past due to my recommendation. So the librarians really love me for that too.
